Re: Passenger Side Door Sill Plate Light

Captain, my SRX is a 2012 Luxury Edition. Since it is not Base, should I be expecting that Passenger Side Sill Plate Light should illuminatie when the door is opened? I look forward to your reply and thanks.

Re: Passenger Side Door Sill Plate Light

I was curious after reading the above, so I experimented with my 2012 Luxury last night and this morning. The passenger-side sillplate light does NOT come on when only the passenger door is opened, regardless of the amount of external light. Both sill plate lights come on when the driver-side front door is opened. If the driver door is opened first, then closed, the interior lights remain on during the delay period. If you open the pasenger door, the sill plate light is on....but, of course, the other interior lights are still on as well.

You have to find out what is damaged or non functioning in order to replace it. Which will take some electrical testing done at the source (sill plate). Maybe the door sensor isn't operating, or maybe you just need to change out the sill plate light?

Yes, but how is the unit taken apart...I see no screws or anything holding it.Don't want to break anything.
